Man gets up to 7 years in prison for burglarizing Watertown home

A Watertown man was sentenced Monday in Jefferson County Court to up to seven years in state prison for burglarizing a Mullin Street home.

Timothy W. Youngs Jr., 22, was sentenced to 3½ to 7 years imprisonment after pleading guilty Dec. 7 to third-degree burglary. He was sentenced as a second-felony offender, having been convicted of fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance in County Court in 2009.

He admitted that on Aug. 30, along with Katrine L. Meadows, 21, Three Mile Bay, he entered the property owned by Kevin A. Kieff at 131 Mullin St. with the intent of stealing something. Police said at the time that unspecified property valued at $8,500 was stolen. Miss Meadows pleaded guilty Dec. 19 to third-degree burglary and is expected to be sentenced Feb. 5 to five years probation. She and Mr. Youngs also will pay full restitution.

Judge Kim H. Martusewicz recommended that Mr. Youngs serve his sentence in the prison systems shock incarceration program. If deemed eligible by Department of Corrections and Community Supervision officials, he would spend six months in a military-style treatment program and then serve the balance of his sentence on parole.
